Updates on future of coding's link search page: history.futureofcoding.org/history/links

Avoid screen freezes:

  • Links data streaming download and parsing by segments

  • Filter by segments

  • Result pagination (less to render on refilter)

Shareability:

Usability:

  • Sort by most recent

  • Table layout fixed

  • Result pagination

  • Keyboard shortcuts

    • f: first, l: last, n: next, p: prev, N: page + 10, P: page - 10, s: focus search
  • Loading status

  • Row highlight on hover

Try it:

PS: I listed the improvements in detail mostly to highlight how many things are involved in a "simple" app that only has a search box and a result list, I think it's a nice 7GUIs style app specification to benchmark future of coding projects

More specific:

  • Don't go below the first page
  • When updating the search term if the current page is after last page of new search results then go to last actual page
  • Show pagination info
